Quick Setup
NetComm GatewayTM Series - ADSL2+ Wireless N300 Modem Router with VoIP
Quick Setup
The Quick Setup screen allows the user to configure the router for DSL connectivity and Internet access. It also guides the user though the
WAN network setup first and then the LAN interface setup. You can either manually customize the router or follow the online instruction to
set up the router.
The following configuration considerations apply:
The WAN network operating mode operation depends on the service providers configuration in the Central Office and Broadband
Access Server for the PVC
If the service provider provides PPPoE service, then the connection selection depends on whether the LAN-side device (typically a
PC) is running a PPPoE client or whether the router is to run the PPPoE client. The router can support both cases simultaneously.
If some or none of the LAN-side devices do not run PPPoE client, then select PPPoE. If every LAN-side device is running a
PPPoE client, then select Bridge In PPPoE mode, the router also supports pass-through PPPoE sessions from the LAN side while
simultaneously running a PPPoE client from non-PPPoE LAN devices. In most cases, NAT and firewall should always be enabled
when PPPoE or PPPoA mode are selected, but they can be enabled or disabled by the user when MER or IPoA is selected, NAT
and firewall are always disabled when Bridge mode is selected.
Depending on the network operating mode, and whether NAPT and firewall are enabled or disabled, the main panel will display or
hide the NAPT/Firewall menu. For instance, at initial setup, the default network operating mode is Bridge. The main panel will not
show the NAPT and Firewall menu.
NOTE: Up to sixteen PVC profiles can be configured and saved on the flash memory. To activate a particular PVC profile, you must navigate through all the Quick Setup
screens until the last summary screen, and then click on the Save/Reboot button.
1. For PPPoE connections, simply enter your User ID and Password as provided by your ISP, then click Save & Reboot. For other connection
types, click on Click Here for Other Connection Types and follow the instructions to complete the setup.
2. After the process is complete, you can use the DSL service.

Voice
Voice
This chapter first describes the various options for configuration of the SIP voice service. It then provides detailed instructions for making
telephone calls using VoIP (Voice over IP) or PSTN (Public Switched Telephone Network) services
5.1 SIP
Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) is a peer-to-peer protocol used for Internet conferencing, telephony, events notification, presence and
instant messaging.
SIP is designed to address the functions of signalling and session management within a packet telephony network. Signalling allows call
information to be carried across network boundaries. Session management provides the ability to control the attributes of an end-to-end
call.
The SIP standard defines the following agents/servers:
1. User Agents (UA) - SIP phone clients (hardware or software)
2. Proxy Server relays data between UA and external servers
3. Registrar Server - a server that accepts register requests from UA
4. Redirect Server provides an address lookup service to UA
NOTE:
The SIP standard is set by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF).
The following subsections present Basic, Advanced and Debug SIP screens. Each screen provides various options for customizing the SIP
configuration.
5.1.1
SIP BASIC
Once settings are configured click Save/Apply to begin using the service.
NOTE:
Locale Selection
Sets tone, ring type and physical characteristics for specific countries
Preferred codecs
Preferred ptime
The time period used to digitally sample the analog voice signal. The default is 20 ms.
Enable the SIP proxy by selecting the checkbox and setting proxy parameters.
SIP Proxy
Input IP address or domain name of the SIP proxy server, used for VOIP service.
This value is set by your VoIP provider and is normally port 5060.
The time period the user would like the registration to be valid for the Registrar/ Proxy Server. The
default is 300 seconds.
YML9WMAXXN
www.netcomm.com.au
NetComm GatewayTM Series - ADSL2+ Wireless N300 Modem Router with VoIP
A proxy is an intermediary program that acts as both a server and a client for the purpose of making requests on behalf of other
clients. Requests are serviced internally or transferred to other servers. A proxy interprets and, if necessary, rewrites a request
message before forwarding it
5.1.2
Select if required by your VoIP provider. Enter SIP Outbound proxy IP and port.

Enable or disable Message-Waiting Indicator (MWI) for FXS Phones with this checkbox.
Enable or disable T.38 Fax mode support with this checkbox. You can plug a fax machine into either phone port
to send or receive faxes. Functionality depends upon FAX support by your VoIP service provider.
Max Digits
Emergency Setting
Multiple emergency numbers can be set using the | character (shift + backslash). For example, to set 911 and
114 as emergency numbers, enter 911|114.
Please Note: These numbers must be changed to correspond to the emergency numbers that are used in your
location.
SIP Transport
Protocol
If PSTN route rule is Auto, an incoming PSTN call will ring an idle phone, either Phone1 or Phone2 (if Phone1 is
busy). If PSTN route rule is Line1 or Line2, an incoming PSTN call will attempt to ring only the assigned phone line
(FXS1 or FXS2).
Select if required by your VoIP provider. (e.g. disable with Vonage service.)
Enable/disable the Music Server. Enter the Music Server IP address and port.
SIP DEBUG
YML9WMAXXN
www.netcomm.com.au
27
Once settings are configured click Save/Apply to begin using the service.
Remaining digits:
Host number part of an IP address. The Network number part is considered to be the same
as the callers IP address.
For example, if a caller at address 10.136.64.33/24 dials 2023, the call will be placed to the second line at address 10.136.64.23. All
devices have to be on the same Class C subnet (24-bit subnet mask).
To dial an IP address directly, dial the IP address digits using * on the keypad as the dot. Complete the address with a final * or #. When
using IP address dialling it is not possible to specify which line at a gateway is called, so the gateway always routes IP-address dialled calls
to the first line.
Network busy tone (fast busy) will be played for unknown or unreachable destinations. To answer a call, pick up the phone or press the
hands free button.

Wireless
The Wireless dialog box allows you to enable the wireless capability, hide the access point, set the wireless network name and restrict the
channel set.
6.1 Setup
The Setup option allows you to configure basic features of the wireless LAN interface. You can enable or disable the wireless LAN interface,
hide the network from active scans, set the wireless network name (also known as SSID) and restrict the channel set based on country
requirements.
Option
Description
Enable Wireless
A checkbox that enables or disables the wireless LAN interface. When selected, the Web UI displays Hide Access point, SSID, and County
settings. The default is Enable Wireless.
Select Hide Access Point to protect the access point from detection by wireless active scans. If you do not want the access point to be
automatically detected by a wireless station, this checkbox should be de-selected.
The station will not discover this access point. To connect a station to the available access points, the station must manually add this access
point name in its wireless configuration.
In Windows XP, go to the Network>Programs function to view all of the available access points. You can also use other software programs
such as NetStumbler to view available access points.
Clients Isolation
1. Prevents clients PC from seeing one another in My Network Places or Network Neighborhood.
2. Prevents one wireless client communicating with another wireless client.
Disable WMM
Advertise
Stops the router from advertising its Wireless Multimedia (WMM) functionality, which provides basic quality of service for time-sensitive
applications (e.g. VoIP, Video).
(wireless software version 3.10 and above)
SSID
Sets the wireless network name. SSID stands for Service Set Identifier. All stations must be configured with the correct SSID to access the
WLAN. If the SSID does not match, that user will not be granted access.
The naming conventions are: Minimum is one character and maximum number of characters: 32 bytes.
BSSID
The BSSID is a 48bit identity used to identify a particular BSS (Basic Service Set) within an area. In Infrastructure BSS networks, the BSSID
is the MAC (Medium Access Control) address of the AP (Access Point) and in Independent BSS or ad hoc networks, the BSSID is generated
randomly.

Quick Security Setup 2 WPA-PSK
If a stronger network security settings is required, go to Wireless>Security and select WPA-PSK from the Network Authentication dropdown menu. Enter a network key of your choice in the WPA Pre-Shared Key field; this can be from 8 to 63 characters and contain special
characters and spaced. And change the WPA Group Rekey Interval to 3600.
Select TKIP for WPA Encryption and leave WEP Encryption as disabled.
Users wishing to connect to your network will need to know the SSID name and the WPA Pre-Shared Key.
Note: Wireless client network cards must be WPA-compliant to connect to your network; if in doubt check the wireless client network card documentation, or use WEP security
(above).
Network Keys
The term network key is often used in the context of wireless networking. The Network Key can be a text string, although in some
systems network keys are generated from a pass-phrase which is entered in one field from which up to four keys are derived in fields
underneath the entry field.
In all cases, the Wireless Router/Access Point and the workstations wishing to connect must use the same Network Key which needs to be
communicated to clients prior to connection.
Re-keying refers to the frequency with which network keys are changed; for security purposes, they need to be changed frequently in
case they re-occur frequently enough to identify them.
In some wireless systems, network keys are entered by a variety of means including:
ASCII any letter, number, or punctuation mark but no special characters
Hex Letters A-F, Numbers 0-9 only
Pass phrase enter a phrase in the top field of a set of fields, an algorithm then generates a series of keys based on the entered values.
These methods have been standardised in the later implementations of Wireless Security and are easier to use in WPA.

Network Authentication
Network Authentication specifies the type of network authentication. The default value is Shared.
Open:
Under Open System authentication, any wireless station can request authentication.
Shared:
Under Shared Key authentication, each wireless station is assumed to have received a secret shared key over a
secure channel that is independent from the 802.11 wireless network communications channel (i.e. verbally). To
use Shared Key authentication, you must have a network key assigned to the clients trying to connect to your
NB9WMAXXn.
802.1X
802.1X security requires the presence of a RADIUS server, and specification of the IP address of a RADIUS server, the port on which to
connect to it, and the Shared Key used to authenticate with it.
Disregard this security setting unless you are setting up or connecting to a RADIUS server.
WPA
WPA requires a RADIUS server to provide client authentication. WPA also requires specification of the WPA Group Rekey Interval which
is the rate that the RADIUS server sends a new Group Key out to all clients. The Re-Keying process is part of WPAs enhanced security.
This method also requires specification of the IP address of a RADIUS server, the port on which to connect to the RADIUS server, and the
shared key used to authenticate with the RADIUS server.
YML9WMAXXN
www.netcomm.com.au
NetComm GatewayTM Series - ADSL2+ Wireless N300 Modem Router with VoIP
WPA-PSK
WPA-PSK is a special mode of WPA providing strong encryption without access to a RADIUS server.
In this mode encryption keys are automatically changed (rekeyed) and authentication re-established between devices after a specified
period referred to as the WPA Group Rekey Interval.
WPA-PSK is far superior to WEP and provides stronger protection for the home/SOHO user for two reasons: first, the process used to
generate the encryption key is very rigorous and second, the rekeying (or key changing) is done very quickly. This stops even the most
determined hacker from gathering enough data to identify the key and so break the encryption.
WEP is confusing because of the various types of network keys vendors use (HEX, ASCII, or passphrase) and because home users mix
and match equipment from multiple vendors, all using different types of keys. But WPA-PSK employs a consistent, easy to use method to
secure your network. This method uses a passphrase (also called a shared secret) that must be entered in both the NB9WMAXXn and the
wireless clients. This shared secret can be between 8 and 63 characters and can include special characters and spaces. For maximum
security, the WPA Pre-Shared Key should be a random sequence of either keyboard characters (upper and lowercase letters, numbers,
and punctuation) at least 20 characters long, or hexadecimal digits (numbers 0-9 and letters A-F) at least 24 hexadecimal digits long.
Note:
The less obvious, longer and more random your WPA Pre-Shared Key, the more secure your network.
The Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) takes over after the initial shared secret is
entered in your wireless devices and handles the encryption and automatic rekeying.
AES:
TKIP+AES:
This will allow either TKIP or AES wireless clients to connect to your NB9WMAXXn.
WPA2
WPA Pre-authentication support in WPA2 allows a client to pre-authenticate with the NB9WMAXXn toward which it is moving, while
maintaining a connection to the access point its moving away from. This new capability allows the roaming to occur in less than 1/10th
of a second while a traditional roam without PMK caching and pre-authentication would take more than one second. Time-sensitive
applications like Citrix, video, or VoIP will all break without fast roaming.
Network Re-Auth Interval is the interval specified (seconds) that the wireless client needs to re-authenticate with the NB9WMAXXn.
For the remainder of the fields required, see above.
WPA2-PSK:
Same as WPA-PSK, but you can only use AES with WPA2 and not WPA.
Mixed WPA2/WPA:
Enables WPA2 or WPA wireless clients to connect to the NB9WMAXXn. Requires a RADIUS server to
authenticate the wireless clients.
Mixed WPA2/WPA-PSK:
Enables WPA2 and WPA clients to authenticate using a PSK (Pre-Shared Key) instead of a RADIUS
server.

802.11n Protection
It is similar as 802.11g protection. In Auto mode the router will use RTS/CTS to improve 802.11n performance in mixed 802.11n/ 802.11g/
802.11b networks. Turn protection off to maximize 802.11n throughput under most conditions.
Support 802.11n

Drop-down menu allows selecting On/Off. Choosing On allows the client with 11n only to connect, not for 11g or 11b; choosing Off
allows the client with 11n/11g/11b to connect
54g Rate
Drop-down menu that specifies the following fixed rates: Auto: Default. Uses the 11 Mbps data rate when possible but drops to lower rates
when necessary. 1 Mbps, 2Mbps, 5.5Mbps, or 11Mbps fixed rates. The appropriate setting is dependent on signal strength.
Multicast Rate
Basic Rate
Fragmentation
Threshold
A threshold, specified in bytes, that determines whether packets will be fragmented and at what size. On an 802.11 WLAN, packets that
exceed the fragmentation threshold are fragmented, i.e., split into, smaller units suitable for the circuit size. Packets smaller than the specified
fragmentation threshold value are not fragmented. Enter a value between 256 and 2346. If you experience a high packet error rate, try to
slightly increase your Fragmentation Threshold. The value should remain at its default setting of 2346. Setting the Fragmentation Threshold
too low may result in poor performance.
RTS Threshold
Request to Send, when set in bytes, specifies the packet size beyond which the WLAN Card invokes its RTS/CTS mechanism. Packets that
exceed the specified RTS threshold trigger the RTS/CTS mechanism. The NIC transmits smaller packet without using RTS/CTS. The default
setting of 2347 (maximum length) disables RTS Threshold.
DTIM Interval
Delivery Traffic Indication Message (DTIM), also known as Beacon Rate. The entry range is a value between 1 and 65535. A DTIM is a
countdown informing clients of the next window for listening to broadcast and multicast messages. When the AP has buffered broadcast or
multicast messages for associated clients, it sends the next DTIM with a DTIM Interval value. AP Clients hear the beacons and awaken to
receive the broadcast and multicast messages. The default is 1.
Beacon Interval
The amount of time between beacon transmissions. Each beacon transmission identifies the presence of an access point. By default, radio
NICs passively scan all RF channels and listen for beacons coming from access points to find a suitable access point. Before a station enters
power save mode, the station needs the beacon interval to know when to wake up to receive the beacon (and learn whether there are buffered
frames at the access point). The entered value is represented in ms. Default is 100. Acceptable entry range is 1 to 0xffff (65535)

8.2 LAN
Use this screen to configure LAN interface settings.
NOTE: NAT is enabled so Enable UPnP is shown above while DHCP Server Relay is hidden. Consult the field descriptions below for more details.
Field
Means
LAN IP Address
Default: 255.255.255.0. The subnet mask of your NB9WMAXXn. A subnet mask is used to determine what subnet an IP address
belongs to. For more information on subnetting see http://www.ralphb.net/IPSubnet/.
Enable UPnP
Universal plug and play (UPnP) allows traffic to pass through the NB9WMAXXn for applications using the UPnP protocol. This
feature requires one active WAN connection. In addition, the client connecting to the NB9WMAXXn should support this feature.
UPnP also supports NAT Traversal which can automatically solve many NAT-related communications problems. UPnP enables
applications to assign dynamic port mappings to the NB9WMAXXn and delete them when connections are complete.
A typical example is the MSN Messenger application that runs on Windows. Instead of manually setting up the port mappings
UPnP enables MSN Messenger to make the request to the NB9WMAXXn which will setup these ports dynamically. When MSN
Messenger is closed the port openings will be removed from the NB9WMAXXns configuration.
Configure the second IP address and subnet mask for LAN interface. It is possible to configure the second IP address to access
the NB9WMAXXn on. Once this box is checked you are able to enter the IP address and subnet mask.
Disables the DHCP server. Only to be done if Static IP address is set up.
Default: Enabled.
Start IP Address
Default: 192.168.1.2. The first IP address that will be issued to the first DHCP client connecting to the NB9WMAXXn using
Ethernet cable or wirelessly.
End IP Address
Default: 192.168.1.254. The last IP address in the DHCP pool to be issued to DHCP clients connecting to the NB9WMAXXn.
Lease Time
Default: 24 hours. The time an IP address is assigned to a client before being renewed.
IGMP specifies how a host can register a router in order to receive specific multicast traffic. IGMP Snooping allows the
NB9WMAXXn to capture IGMP frames. When your NB9WMAXXn hears an IGMP report from a host for a given multicast group
it adds the hosts port number for that group. When the NB9WMAXXn hears an IGMP Leave, it removes the hosts port from the
table entry.
Without IGMP snooping, multicast traffic is treated in the same manner as broadcast traffic - that is, it is forwarded to all ports.
With IGMP snooping, multicast traffic of a group is only forwarded to ports that have members of that group. IGMP Snooping
generates no additional network traffic, allowing you to significantly reduce multicast traffic passing through your NB9WMAXXn.

Description
Log
Indicates whether the system is currently recording events. The user can enable or disable event
logging. By default, it is disabled. To enable it, tick Enable and then Apply button.
Log level
Allows you to configure the event level and filter out unwanted events below this level. The events
ranging from the highest critical level Emergency down to this configured level will be recorded to
the log buffer on the device SDRAM. When the log buffer is full, the newer event will wrap up to the
top of the log buffer and overwrite the old event. By default, the log level is Debugging, which is
the lowest critical level. The following log levels are
Emergency = system is unusable
Alert = action must be taken immediately
Critical = critical conditions
Error = Error conditions
Warning = normal but significant condition
Notice= normal but insignificant condition
Informational= provides information for reference
Debugging = debug-level messages
Emergency is the most serious event level, whereas Debugging is the least important. For instance,
if the log level is set to Debugging, all the events from the lowest Debugging level to the most critical
level Emergency level will be recorded. If the log level is set to Error, only Error and the level above
will be logged.
Display Level
Allows the user to select the logged events and displays on the View System Log screen for events
of this level and above to the highest Emergency level.
Mode
Allows you to specify whether events should be stored in the local memory, or be sent to a remote
syslog server or both simultaneously.
If remote mode is selected, view system log will not be able to display events saved in the remote
syslog server.
When either Remote mode or Both mode is configured, the WEB UI will prompt the user to enter the
Server IP address and Server UDP port.
